Intro:
Get ready to giggle, gasp, and maybe clutch your waistband a little tighter — because Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants by Dav Pilkey is here to shrink your boredom and super-size your fun! With the ever-hilarious George and Harold back in action, a brand-new villain with the world’s silliest name, and a plot that involves shrink rays and wedgie-powered heroics, this fourth installment cranks the chaos up to eleven.
Why You’ll Love It:
- Laughter Level: Off the charts.
- Villain Factor: Professor Pippy P. Poopypants may have a funny name, but he’s got some serious (and seriously silly) evil plans.
- Classic Pilkey Mischief: Comic strips, outrageous inventions, and wordplay galore.
The Plot in Brief:
When genius scientist Professor Pippy P. Poopypants discovers his name is the punchline to every joke in the book, he decides it’s time for revenge. Armed with the Shrinky-Pig 2000, he sets out to miniaturize anything (and anyone) that gets in his way. It’s up to George, Harold, and the wedgie-powered wonder himself, Captain Underpants, to save the day before the school — and the planet — become dollhouse-sized.
Standout Moments:
- The Shrinky-Pig 2000 demonstration (equal parts genius and ridiculous).
- The “change your name” chart — possibly the funniest book extra in children’s literature.
- A showdown that proves size doesn’t matter when you have courage… and cotton underwear on your side.
